TiVo (TEE-voh) is a digital video recorder (DVR) developed and marketed by TiVo Corporation and introduced in 1999. TiVo is both the company and the DVR product that allows the scheduled recording of television programs.

As the early leader in this category, the name began to be a generic trademark used for all DVRs, particularly as a verb - "I tivoed that show."

It is sais that hundreds of anmes were considered for the company/product including "Bongo" and "Lasso." The final name is a combination of TV (in caps) for the television aspect, and the i and o (lower case) referencing the acronym "I/O," which is used in tech applications to mean "input/output."
